Special Reports & Tweets - 20140821_SpecialReport-2_Alex Aired: 2014-08-21 Duration: 06:06 === Belief in the Rule of Law (05:21) === [00:00:00] We'll be right back. [00:00:13] All of this because he refused $7.5 million to the office of the Travis County DA after Rosemary Lemberg was caught driving under the influence back in 2013. [00:00:23] You think I'm not gonna pull over? [00:00:25] No, I'm aware of who you are, ma'am. [00:00:27] I went to a friend's house tonight. [00:00:31] Okay. [00:00:31] Had a cup of drink. [00:00:32] I am not drunk. [00:00:34] Governor Perry spoke to the crowd for five minutes. [00:00:36] I'm here today because I believe in the rule of law. [00:00:41] And I'm here today because I did the right thing. [00:00:52] I'm going to enter this courthouse with my head held high, knowing the actions that I took were not only lawful and legal, but right. [00:01:02] And if I had to do so, I would veto funding for the Public Integrity Unit again. [00:01:09] You think, think any governor. [00:01:20] Democrat or Republican would expect this important unit with jurisdiction over state officials be led by someone who lives up to the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity. [00:01:39] And this issue is far bigger than me. [00:01:44] It's about the rule of law. [00:01:46] It's about the Constitution that allows not just a governor but every citizen to speak their mind free of political interference or legal intimidation. [00:01:59] This indictment is nothing short of an attack on the constitutional powers of the office of governor. [00:02:09] There are important fundamental issues at stake and I will not allow this attack on our system of government to stand. [00:02:23] I'm gonna fight this injustice with every fiber of my being. [00:02:32] Thank you. [00:02:33] Thank you. [00:02:34] And we will prevail. [00:02:36] And we'll prevail because we're standing for the rule of law. [00:02:46] all. [00:02:50] Returning 10 minutes later to the crowd, Perry now faced a maximum penalty of 99 years in prison. [00:02:56] As required by law, I reported to the county authorities a few minutes ago, and I want to take a moment to say thank you to the sheriff's deputies And for the great professionalism that they showed me just now. [00:03:17] Let me be clear. [00:03:19] It is our system of constitutional checks and balances that is being challenged here today. [00:03:26] This prosecution would seek to erode the power of all Texas governors, Republican or Democrat, to veto legislation and funding that they deem inappropriate. [00:03:43] It is a chilling restraint on the right of free speech. [00:03:50] The actions that I took were lawful, they were legal, and they were proper. [00:03:57] This indictment is fundamentally a political act that seeks to achieve at the courthouse [00:04:05] what could not be achieved at the ballot box. [00:04:10] But we don't resolve political disputes or policy differences by indictments. [00:04:28] We don't criminalize political or policy disagreements. [00:04:35] We will prevail. [00:04:37] We will prevail. [00:04:39] And we'll prevail because the rule of law will prevail. [00:04:50] I'm I remain focused on the work of the people of this state, doing the job I was elected to do, and I will not be distracted by these baseless political charges. [00:05:05] Thank you and God bless you. === We Are Losing This War (01:00) === [00:05:11] The Globalists have controlled the mainstream media for a long time, but now they're expanding, making the weaponization even more vicious and deceptive. [00:05:19] All the major networks are state-run. [00:05:24] The NFL has become a political weapon against the Second Amendment and pushes Obamacare. [00:05:28] MSNBC tells us that our children belong to the state. [00:05:31] We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. [00:05:39] It is more important than ever to realize that we are not the alternative media. [00:05:43] We are the true media. [00:05:45] The establishment dinosaur press is dying. [00:05:48] We are in an information war and we are losing that war. [00:05:51] Join us at InfoWarsNews.com and PrisonPlanet.tv. [00:05:56] Members can share their memberships with up to 11 people.
